Application of Equivalent Trunks Technique to Alternate Route Engineering

The grade of service of an alternate route is normally based on the average of several hourly blocking probabilities of the alternate route. The contemporary method for estimating the grade of service of an alternate route requires adjustment to the average traffic loads with appropriate correction factors in order to gain sufficient accuracy. This paper introduces the equivalent trunks technique, which can be used for approximating the alternate route grade of service without the need of adjustment to the average traffic loads. Thus, the technique is simple to use. In comparison with the results obtained by the present relatively complex method and the measured data, this technique is shown to give good accuracy. It is suggested that the preparation of engineering charts based on this technique would considerably further enhance the simplicity of its use for alternate route engineering.

Tables of collision integrals for the Barker-Pompe, Barker-Fisher-Watts, and Parson-Siska-Lee inert gas potentials

This paper presents tables of collision integrals Ω(l,s)*, collision integral ratios, higher order correction factors for viscosity, thermal conductivity and diffusion, and the isotopic thermal diffusion factor for the Barker-Pompe, Barker-Fisher-Watts, and Parson-Siska-Lee potentials. These potentials could be quite accurate in predicting dilute gas transport properties of Ar, Kr, Xe, and Ne.

Magneto-radiative supersonic flow with variable specific heat

Formulae for stagnation conditions and for the one dimensional flow through shock waves considering variable specific heat have been derived in the presence of magnetic field and radiation effects. These formulae have been compared with those for constant specific heat to obtain correction factors in order to make them valid for reasonably high Mach numbers.

Spectral density, thermodynamics and temporal coherence of non-planckian black body radiation for small cavities

Corrections to Planck's radiation formula significant for submillimeter black body standards of usual laboratory size are presented for various spectral resolutions. Improved calculations reveal first order correction factors of the type (1-const/ν) for hemispherical and cone-shaped cavities, whereas only small second order corrections (1-const/ν 2) are found for the cube and the sphere. The implications on Einstein's coefficients. Wien's displacement law, the mean square fluctuations, and the Stefan-Boltzman radiation law are considered. The compatibility with thermodynamics is discussed. The first order corrections to entropy, free energy, specific heat, and to the isothermal equation of state are presented. The auto-correlation of the electric radiation field is calculated and given interms of generalized Riemaun zeta functions.

Inheritance of Economic Traits in the Regional Cornell Control Population

KNOWLEDGE of genetic parameters is useful in designing efficient breeding systems. Estimation of genetic parameters raises the problem of suitable material as a source of data. Until recently, genetic parameters in poultry populations have been estimated from data collected from inbred lines or selected populations. Estimates obtained from inbred lines have required correction factors in order to compensate for changes in genetic variance due to inbreeding. In addition, few of these inbred lines were developed without considerable natural and/or artificial selection. Estimates obtained from non-inbred populations under artificial selection have ignored, for the most part, the bias which may result from the use of selected parents in the typical variance components analysis. Correction for the reduction of genetic variance in selected parents by the use of adjustment factors is very difficult or even not feasible with the accuracy one desires. Even when selection is for only one or a few…
